Rumble—!

Eight massive meteors, wreathed in dark green flames, tore through the darkness above without warning!

Like a judgment from the nine nether Hells, they descended with world-destroying might, crashing down upon this vast boneyard!

The entire space trembled violently under this terrifying pressure!

"Ooh..."

The ancient voice let out a pained groan for the first time.

The next second.

The eight meteors accurately struck the writhing dark red flesh walls surrounding them!

The earth shook and mountains swayed!

The dark green flames, like a prairie fire, instantly ignited the colossal flesh wall!

The raging inferno blazed fiercely, emitting crackling sounds!

The flames were extremely strange; instead of scorching the flesh, they directly penetrated the thick flesh wall, acting upon the deeper Soul!

"Ah—!"

A scream, several times more shrill than before, erupted!

The brilliant golden light emanating from the massive pendulum of life even ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) dimmed slightly at this moment.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!!!"

The ancient voice was filled with boundless fury and venom!

In fact, Gandalf's Meteor Fire Rain would normally have a hard time damaging this Strange Beast.

However.

But who made his flames imbued with the special effect of Soul-Devouring Nether Flame?

It could burn the Soul.

And at this moment, it was at its weakest, as its Soul and body were undergoing Fusion!

This strike was incredibly effective!

Even Thor, who was entangled with countless tentacles, clearly felt that the strength of those supposedly tough dark red tentacles had been weakened by more than a little!

"Good opportunity!"

A sharp glint flashed in Thor's eyes!

He let out an earth-shattering roar to the sky!

Boom—!

A blue lightning bolt, several times more violent than before, suddenly erupted from his body!

He raised thor's hammer high, and the raging lightning power around him, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, surged madly into it!

"Get... out of my way!"

He roared, swinging the warhammer in his hand forward!

A crescent-shaped giant lightning blade shot out!

Wherever it passed, space shattered inch by inch!

The dark red tentacles that entangled him were instantly torn apart by the violent lightning power upon contact with the lightning blade, turning into a sky full of shredded flesh!

Thor didn't hesitate at all, transforming into a dazzling blue electric light and soaring into the sky!

He raised his warhammer high, pouring all the chaotic lightning within him into it!

And smashed it fiercely down onto the massive pendulum of life!

Bang—!

A deafening roar exploded!

The huge pendulum of life was actually sent flying by this hammer blow!

The brilliant golden light radiating from it completely retracted at this moment!

Hiss—!

A wisp of transparent, ink-black phantom was suddenly shaken out of the pendulum of life!

The phantom's form resembled a whale, shrunken countless times over.

At this moment, it floated in mid-air, its crimson eyes staring fixedly at Thor and Gandalf below, filled with endless rage and malevolence!

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"You all deserve to die!!!"

It never expected this.

Its resurrection ritual, which it had planned for countless years, was actually interrupted by these two damned ants working together!

Having lost control of the phantom.

The massive pendulum of life began to shrink rapidly at a visible speed!

Finally, it transformed into a golden pendulum clock, only about a meter high, quietly suspended in mid-air.

It was identical to the fakes encountered on the island before!

"Now's the time!"

Thor's eyes lit up!

He knew his chance had come!

However, the Soul of the Exotic Beast clearly had no intention of giving him that opportunity!

"Die!"

It let out a sharp shriek!

Hundreds of thick dark red tentacles once again branched out from the writhing dark red flesh wall around them!

They covered the sky and earth, like surging crimson waves, sweeping towards Thor!

Not only that!

The two massive flesh walls above and below began to slowly close in at this moment, without any warning!

The posture clearly indicated an intention to crush Thor into a meat paste!

Seeing this, Thor's expression changed slightly.

He had to abandon the Divine Artifact, which was within reach, and retreat, dodging the crushing flesh walls and the endless tentacle siege!

And the Soul of the Exotic Beast transformed into a black smoke, preparing to re-enter the pendulum of life to continue its resurrection ritual!

However, just at this moment.

From a distance, a calm voice sounded again.

"Forbidden Spell - Meteor Shower!"

The person held a staff, and at its tip, dark green flames once again converged madly!

The cooldown of over twenty seconds was just that unreasonable!

Rumble—!

Eight massive meteors, wreathed in dark green flames, once again tore through the darkness and crashed down!

The Soul of the Exotic Beast, which was almost back inside the pendulum of life, didn't even have time to react before it was forcefully knocked out by the falling meteors!

"Ah ah ah—!"

It let out a scream several times more shrill than before!

The pain of its Soul being burned almost completely devoured its consciousness!

Most crucially!

The first wave of Soul-Devouring Nether Flame had not yet extinguished, and the second wave arrived!

The two flames superimposed, increasing their power by more than several times!

The massive dark red flesh wall instantly transformed into a sea of dark green fire!

It was also at this moment.

The corpse of the giant beast, which had seemingly died, suddenly opened its blood-red mouth, large enough to swallow mountains, without any warning!

Whoosh—!

A terrifying suction force erupted!

Endless seawater, as if finding a vent, poured in madly!

In just a moment.

This vast boneyard within the Exotic Beast's body was completely submerged by the surging seawater!

Although the Soul-Devouring Nether Flame attached to the flesh wall was still burning in the water.

Its power was significantly reduced.

Zhou Huai, seeing this, smiled slightly.

"Just as I wished."

The next second.

He controlled Gandalf, and a turbulent stream of water appeared out of thin air beneath his feet, like a surfboard, carrying his body rapidly towards the location of the pendulum of life!

The golden pendulum clock was now quietly suspended in the seawater.

However, just as Gandalf was about to approach.

A swifter blue electric light arrived first!

It was Thor!

Bathed in lightning, his speed underwater was actually three points faster than Gandalf's!

However, Zhou Huai was already prepared for this.

He calmly raised the eternal sanction in his hand, and at the tip of the staff, a seven-colored brilliance converged madly!

His incantation had already reached the last syllable!

"Forbidden Spell: Thousand Mile Ice Seal!"

Buzz—!

A terrifying chill, enough to freeze the Soul, suddenly erupted from the tip of his staff!

The vast sea area in front of Thor instantly solidified into a colossal, seven-colored ice crystal without any warning!

And Thor was perfectly trapped in the very center of the ice crystal! 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Ice Prison Cage!

Not only that!

Thor only felt as if his brain had been filled with lead, becoming incredibly heavy!

Even his thoughts became much slower!

The 【Slowness】 effect!

This was the terrifying power of the S-rank Strange Ice, Aurora Heart!

This series of changes happened in just an instant!

But it bought Gandalf enough time!

He controlled the current beneath his feet, quickly approached the golden pendulum clock, and grabbed it.

Then, he turned and ran!

And Thor, trapped in the Ice Prison Cage, under the influence of the 【Slowness】 effect, was stunned for a full second.

Only then did he let out an earth-shattering roar!

"Gan...dalf!!!"

He paused for another second.

Only then did he remember what he should say.

"Don't... run!!!"

Another second of pause.

"The pendulum of life... is mine!!!"
